9 People You Have No Idea You'll Miss Until After Graduation

#9, I promise

Aug 17, 2018

We all knew that we would miss our best friends and the people we always hung out around, but sometimes the people you miss sneak up on you.

1. The kid that always smiled in the hall

You can think of one right now if you tried. Maybe you never spoke to them, but you should have. They were the one who made your bad days so much better, even if they never knew it.

2. The kids that went way too hard at pep rallys

Was it slightly obnoxious? Ok, maybe. Did they love it? Absolutely. There are only so many times you can cover yourself in paint and call it socially acceptable. If you didn't take advantage of that, you should have.

3. The janitor that always smiled at you

This is another one that you definitely didn't appreciate enough. Not only were they nice to you, they were nice to you even after picking up after you and your gross classmates. That is a brave human being.

4. The teacher you thought would actually be the death of you

There were multiple teachers who I expected to be in my obituary. There were a few times I thought about faking Ebola to miss their class. Yet here I am, starting college, and I look around and I am so much better prepared than some of my clueless peers. Do I fully understand calculus or AP chemistry? Nope. Did taking the class make a better student because I had to learn to work harder? Absolutely.

5. The mean girl, cause we all knew one

That girl who said mean things for seemingly no reason? You may have not appreciated her at the time, but she toughened you up. After graduation the things she said are laughable and have zero hold on you. Maybe we didn't appreciate her attitude, but we can be thankful for the life lesson.

6. The class clown, despite wanting to kill them in class

Did they distract you and get on your nerves? YES, and it was obnoxious. But it was also goofy, and kinda funny, and you'd kill to go back to sitting behind them in those uncomfortable desk.

7. The teacher whose class you always hung out in

There was always that one class you could go to when you didn't actually want to go to class. There was always some teacher who was willing to let you hide in their class room and maybe even spot you a pass every now and then when you were late. They were the real MVP, and the main reason you didn't have a break down.

8. The kid that was super in to things you weren't

For me this was the kids who were crazy good at music and band. I was perhaps the least musically inclined human being at my school, but there's something about watching someone get excited over something you can't relate to in any way. You can't get caught up in the concept, but you can defiantly appreciate the joy on their face.

9. The office ladies

Don't lie. These women (or men) CARRIED YOU your senior year. They saw you every time you came in 30 minuets late with contraband coffee. They saw you every time you came running in hoping to catch the councilor. They saw you and they spoke so much needed encouragement. They were the grandmothers we all wished we had, and they were the first ones to happy dance when your got good news.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
